Inspection has always been a hot topic when it comes to coatings projects. There are some substrates that can be harder to specify due to not knowing without knowing which testing is relevant to specify and properly inspect the substrate and surface after it is coated. Concrete is probably the number one substrate that is confusing. This paper will dive into the testing that is relevant when specifying coatings for concrete tanks and structures. Whether it is how to properly check film build or whether or not an ASTM test is relevant, this paper will clear the waters and make specifying coatings for concrete tanks and structures easier.

Application of conventional coatings directly to concrete tanks is a common practice for the primary containment of liquids. Substituting the application of polyurea geomembranes in lieu of conventional methods exhibits a significant reduction in application time with regard to certain surface rehabilitation, surface preparation, and priming of substrates. Polyurea geomembranes are high performance liners designed for various reasons that include, but are not limited to, protection of the environment from pollution and hazardous materials or protection of the lining’s contents from vessel contamination.
This case study shows how the City of Virginia Beach addressed concrete tank foundation deterioration and steps taken to reduce future deterioration, including moisture control, impact of Alkali Silica Reaction, concrete analysis and proper surface preparation, coatings applications and inspection.
